I need to rip a dvd to WMV

[lilmaniac2 5,000+ posts]

So I have been looking forever it seems for a piece of freeware to rip a dvd ( that is not protected ) this is a video demonstration of a piece of software we are trying to get funded for my school. I need to rip this dvd, edit it and extract a couple 30 second clips.

I have tried googling and probably have more spyware than needed, but i could really care less I just wanted to find something to work.

so in short I need a DVD ripper that is free and will rip to WMV format.

Any help guys?

I found a few trials, but I'm positive if you search torrents, you would find one for 'free.'

go to afterdawn. com and sign up to be a forum member. they have alot of good freeware downloads. xilisoft is there, and it's freeware. xilisoft makes a few programs that cost as well, but get this one.

You can rip the DVD with a free program called DVD Shrink.

I'm not sure about the WMV thing though. You could probably find something that will convert it into the desired format. Why does it have to be a WMV file?

It's goign to be used in a powerpoint presentation on a school computer that lacks divx, I know for a fact it will play WMV as it is a windows machine. This presentation is for the new President of the University and will determine if my scholarship programwill be around next semester lol

I really can't help you with converting it into WMV, but if you rip it with DVD Shrink and then burn it to a DVD, you can simply play the video from your DVD drive.
